Hubble Servicing Mission 3B-02
In celebration of the 25th anniversary of NASA's first space servicing mission to the Hubble Space Telescope, we are sharing this gallery of images from all five of the Hubble servicing missions.
Astronauts serviced Hubble for the first time in December 1993. Including that trip, there have been five astronaut servicing missions to Hubble between 1993 and 2009.
How did astronauts repair and service the Hubble Space Telescope more than 300 miles above the surface of the Earth? Watch Hubble astronauts as they discuss servicing from the innovative Robotics Operations Center: bit.ly/2EiiNTP
STS109-328-026 (5 March 2002) --- Perched on the end of the Columbia's remote manipulator system (RMS) arm, astronaut Michael J. Massimino, removes the old solar array on the port side of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Astronauts Massimino and James H. Newman went on to replace the array with a new one. A day earlier, two other astronauts accomplished the same feat on the starboard side.
